What Is a PAC Code

A PAC Code (Porting Authorisation Code) allows you to transfer your mobile number from one network to another while keeping the same number. It’s free to request and valid for 30 days.

With a PAC code, you can move your existing number to your new  VIP mobile number from VIPNumbersUK quickly and easily.

You can request a PAC code in a few simple ways:

  • By text message
  • Through your online account
